Although he had been singing, composing and collecting folk material all his life ("I sometimes feel like a bunch of musical nerves without any steerage"), he did not try to go commercial until two years ago, when a local music-store owner heard him sing The Battle of New Orleans and sent him to a folk-song-conscious music publisher in Nashville, Tenn.
